[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Very disappointing results for arguably the top HS in the top High School District (except for TJ).[/quote]

I don't know how to break this to you, so I'll just leave this right here:

https://www.usnews.com/education/best-high-schools/virginia/districts/fairfax-county-public-schools-109481

https://www.fcps.edu/news/fcps-high-schools-ranked-among-best-virginia-and-nation-us-news-and-world-report[/quote]

US News is certainly one source of information.  [/quote]

It appears to be the source that FCPS has cited, so yes.  [/quote]

It was a source that FCPS cited at a time when it thought it was in its interests to do so.  It doesn't mean FCPS or anyone else views it as definitive, as opposed to informative.  [/quote]

Usnews rankings are based on things other than college destination. Someone needs to make a ranking based solely on college destination, which is what this thread is mainly concerned about.[/quote]

I'll say it again:  pretty sure no one commenting on this thread has complete visibility into the post-graduation plans of all the kids attending specific schools, so they should refrain from either using superlatives ("best outcomes," etc.) or drawing inferences from incomplete sources ("no one is going to School X...").  So no one here can come up with any type of "ranking based solely on college destination" that would be very meaningful. [/quote]
